Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Smith should have been long gone. The Bears pounced, and earned a B.

When a board-topper like Brashard Smith slides to No. 203, you do not overthink it, and the Bears did not. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

They punted on cornerback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The cost of the Burks reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

They left with edge rusher solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the cornerback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Mason Graham
In Round 1, Pick 9 they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick35 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
Malaki Starks slid further than he should have, and pick No. 35 is lovely value for the safety. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick41 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
A reasonable price with a little left over, Tyler Booker in slot 41. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick73 Rnd3 LT Overton
LT Overton in the 73rd pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick147 Rnd5 Danny Stutsman
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Danny Stutsman in the Round 5 slot, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick203 Rnd6 Brashard Smith
Brashard Smith at pick 203 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick226 Rnd7 Bryce Foster
Somehow Bryce Foster was still sitting there in No. 226, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick244 Rnd7 Deion Burks
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Deion Burks. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
